This deserves 100 likes.  It’s infuriating the constant rebuilding and tearing down of the squad.  Different formations and tactics.  

You have to build something before you can tear it down, what have we built in the last couple of decades.

Wasn't disagreeing at all mate. Was just that if the right manager comes in, he could use this to motivate 

But who is the right manager? I really can't come up with one. 1. They have to understand us as a club 2. to sort out the sh1t show 3. is a motivator we need.

Chelsea are believed to be in talks to sign Haaland for £154 million, and Pep wants both Kane and Grealish, how can any other team’s complete with that buying power. 

And people worry about us and FFP. FFP was and is nothing more than a catchphrase for a failed experiment, and doesn't deserve the attention it gets.

All good news. Still have to wonder whether he'll be able to play again, I guess they'll have to find out what caused it before that decision can be made.

Not sure if true, but I'm sure I read somewhere that the decision might be taken out of his hands. The English FA may step in and refuse to accept his registration (if he came back to an English club) on medical grounds. 

It's not something that happens often (thankfully) so not sure how true but would make sense. When something as extreme as this happens it's probably for the best that he calls it a day, as frustrating as that may be for him personally.

That's how I'm leaning. Imagine being a family or team member, you'd be constantly terrified watching him play.

When I played, about half a dozen times in a season, I used to get fairly major heart palpitations during a game. Fortunately, it never happened during a crucial stage of play as I was unable to move for several seconds.  I never went to see a doc as I didn't want to be stopped from playing.  

That's probably connected to the atrial fibrilation that I have had for the last 20 years.  I used to get about a dozen incidents per year (heart going at 230 per minute on one of the occasions I was in hospital).  Saw a new specialist about 18 months ago and he changed my medication.  Haven't had a single incident since!

Hope the lad pulls through OK but fear it is the end of his playing career.

Hasn't Daley Blind had some form of heart intervention and obviously still playing?

Yeah, he plays with a pacemaker.

Yep, in the Eridivisie (Dutch League), after his time in England with Manchester United. From what I understand, each FA have their own laws on where they will effectively deny a player the right to compete, so Blind could play for Ajax but not come back to United, for example.

Rather than putting it on the Fantasy thread while the Euros are on, I thought I would just let you know that the Premier Fantasy Football is open for the new upcoming season.

You just have to login to the site and renew your league to go straight in.

I'm in.
